"Aver" doesn't exist in Spanish. The correct context is: "Vamos a ver" (Let us see it) and a kind of contraction in speaking casual is "A ver" actually follow by the objet. - alfavero, Dec 30, 2016
And "Haber" is the infinitive form of the verb "to have" (Tener o haber) This isn't conected in any way with "Vamos a ver" and is an orthographic error, in the best of cases. - alfavero, Dec 30, 2016
The sound of the two words in Spanish call for the confuse missunderstanding. Something similar as ex. in English between the words "seek" and "sick" wich in conversational English are almost the same sound. - alfavero, Dec 30, 2016

Usually a ver means lets see, Haber is a completely different word with specific usages, the following thread should give you a better idea of what those are:

Haber

In this context it seems like "a ver" (Let's see) too me too,

My (native) friend also, most of the time, writes it like "aver" or "haver".

Made me understand the use of the letters "V" and "B".

A ver .... let's see is many times used as a filler word, ie: Ordering at a taquería, "A ver, traígame por favor cuatro tocos al pastor con cilantro pero sin cebolla."

This is correct, indeed. "A ver" in the precedent ex. means "Ok", or its equivalent in Spanish: "Por cierto", - alfavero, Dec 31, 2016

Either "a ver" or "haber." They're used mostly interchangeably in conversations. It means sort of like "let's see."

If I understand what this is supposed to mean (cause it's kind of jumbled and not spelled correctly) I'd say like "let's see how I make you feel now, nervous or not?"

Interchangeably??? Surely you mean that people use both expressions with different meanings even if they are homophones. - lazarus1907, Aug 23, 2011
nope, they are used interchangeably in conversations. that's not to say that usage is correct though - unMica, Aug 23, 2011
I sure lazarus is right on this one. - lorenzo9, Aug 23, 2011
